UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

LOUIS A. DOURSON, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE AMERICAN OIL PUMP& TANK CO., 015 CINCINNATI, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.

HOSE-NOZZLE HANGER.

Application filed August 2, 1924. Serial No. 729,794.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LOUIS A. DoURsoN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county ofHamilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements inHose-Nozzle Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gasoline measuring pumps, and particularly tohose nozzle hangers for same.

Measuring pumps for dispensing gasoline, oil and the like are generallyprovided with a hose and nozzle for same, so that liquid may bedelivered directly into the tank or other container of the automobile,or wherever desired, Without being drawn first into a measuring vesseland then poured into the receptacle to which it is to be delivered. Itis now common practice to provide a fork or notched plate secured to anyconvenient structure, as a pump housing on curb pumps or an adjacentwall on inside pumps. The nozzles are simply turned upside down, and aretherefore ready to catch dust, or in the case of outdoor pumps rain,

or may have pebbles or the like thrown into them by mischievous boys. Asso constructed they must be taken down at ni ht or with some enclosedpumps may be locked inside the casing at night.

One object of my invention is to provide a hose hanger with an enclosureto pro tect and shield the end of the nozzle. During hours of use thehose nozzle may be readily removed and hung up again at will.

Another object of my invention is to provide means for locking thenozzle in position within the enclosure so that it may not be removeduntil unlocked.

In the particular embodiment of my invention selected for illustration.

Figure 1 is a perspective of my improved hanger with a nozzle locked inposition in it, the hose coupling and a piece of the hose being shown,

Figure 2 is a vertical centralsection thru the hanger from front to backwith the nozzle in position within it.

Referring now to the drawings, A is the nozzle housing, provided withbosses a, having holes a to afford means of readily securing the deviceby bolts or screws to the pump housing or any other convenient object towhich it is desired to attach the device. The casing has a top a whichprotects the mouth of the nozzle N from rain, dust and the like, andalso an overhanging front edge a which restricts the tipping forward ofthe nozzle. Projecting ledge a with a central drain opening (a is soplaced as to be in position to have the hook n of the nozzle placed overit, thus supporting the nozzle and hose. On either side of the housingnear the bottom is a projecting lug a. with a hole a thru which ispassed a bolt B provided with a hole 6 so that the hasp c of a padlock Cmay be passed thru it and locked. Tho bolt B also passes thru a hole ain the boss n 011 the nozzle N.

When the parts are in the position shown in Figure 1, the nozzle N andits attached hose H may not be removed from hanging position but mustfirst be unlocked and the bolt B withdrawn, before the hose and nozzlecan be used.

I do not restrict myself to the particular type of device shown as itmay be subject to great variations without departing from the spirit ofmy invention.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States:

1. A hose nozzle hanger comprising an open housing with a hood to coverthe open end of the nozzle when hung up therein, and a support securedto and within the housing from which the said nozzle may be removablyhung.

2. A hose nozzle hanger comprising an open housing with a hood to coverthe open end of the nozzle when hung up therein, a support secured toand within the housing on which the said nozzle may be removably hung,and means for locking said nozzle to said housing so that the nozzle maynot be removed from the said support until unlocked.

3. The combination of a nozzle for a dispensing hose having a hook fromwhich it may be suspended when in inverted position, a hanger consistingof an open housing with a support for said nozzlewhen hung therein,means for shielding the end of said nozzle in said position a perforatedlug on said nozzle and .a ,bolt passing through said nozzle 111g" andhousing for looking said nozzle to said housing when the nozzle is hungtherein.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

LOUIS A. DOURSON.
